The "Incomparable Acrobatic Contortionist" CARL LUSTER, a VAUDEVILLE STAR who performed with CHARLIE CHAPLIN, ED WYNN, and survived the infamous HAGENBECK-WALLACE CIRCUS TRAIN CRASH of 1918, also nearly completed a screenplay about his life on the Vaudeville circuit.  This unique document is now in the hands of his great-granddaughter, filmmaker SHANNON LUSTER.
